22 years ago today The Battle of Danny Boy. What began as an ambush in Iraq became over 3 hours of brutal fighting ending in hand-to-hand combat. To the men beside me that day — your courage and determination will stay with me forever. Hermer & Shiner couldn’t lace are boots!

I wonder if our Prime Minister regrets starting a fight with our veterans? Bad policies lead to bad results.

The government rejected protecting under 16 years-olds from social media 260 to 161, majority 99. While voting to persecute our veterans 373 to 106, majority 267.

A FILM THAT NEVER EXISTED - UNTIL NOW What if Britain had fallen in 1940? A Nazi propaganda newsreel from an alternate timeline. But this isn’t archive. AI-generated filmmaking teaser for ‘The Sett’ – feature film in development at Dark Wave.

SAS Soldier B was justified in using lethal force to protect life in a fast-moving and dangerous situation in 1991; when playing his part in opposing an armed and violent insurrection in Northern Ireland. The soldiers that deployed to Northern Ireland at the request of the civil powers to defeat the IRA and other violent terrorists, risked their lives to protect the innocent. It was a solemn, serious and selfless duty. In countless, fast moving, confusing and dangerous moments they looked death in the face, did not yield to fear, doubt or threat, and made split-second, brave decisions to save lives. And in so doing, these courageous souls, these volunteers, helped to deliver the peace that we now enjoy and celebrate. They do not deserve to be persecuted in their retirement by a politically-motivated legal process, triggered NOT by new evidence but by the retrospective application of Human Rights Laws that were never designed to bound the counter-terrorist combat they were ordered to conduct on our behalves. All Strength and Honour to Soldier B and his remarkable friends, and may he, in his retirement, justifiably enjoy the peace he helped to create.

Judges dismiss case against Soldier B as ‘ludicrous’. The question remains why was the soldier forced to stand trial for a 3rd time? telegraph.co.uk/news/2026/04/1…

“The simple step of the courageous individual is to not take part in the lie." Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn would recognize the consistent bullshit coming out of the UK’s Ministry of Defence on defence capability, defence investment and getting ready for war as LIES; and those that peddle them as nothing more than careerist con-artists. There is no plan, no money and no leadership. Just talk, consultant-crafted sound-bites, catchy video-clips, conference speeches, dressing up for selfies, consistent, careless persecution of veterans and other nonsense. Nothing but LIES. I do hope this changes soon, and that the right (courageous and honest) leaders are chosen to change all this. But I see very little sign of it….

@robert_lyman @BBCr4today I’m assuming this Tom Fletcher is not the lead singer of McFly? But perhaps we should ask a boy band what are legitimate military targets.

For the Trump administration to understand: The Strait of Hormuz is NOT OPEN. The UAE does not and will NEVER accept the Islamic regime in Iran imposing CONDITIONS on access. The UAE is not Britain or the EU. It does not accept any terrorist actor restricting freedom of navigation. As for Pakistan, Turkey, and Saudi Arabia negotiating to keep the regime afloat, understand this: no state has a legitimate right to decide who may pass and under what terms. That is international law, not a bargaining chip. Shame on United Kingdom, NATO, European Union, and anyone who tolerates this regime’s terrorism and piracy.

@hilarybennmp I feel to credit the last Labour government lacks nuance. I would highly recommend reading ‘A Secret History of the IRA’ by late Ed Moloney - an unbiased, objective and most thorough analysis of the peace process.
